A fight over a handgun left a man shot in the buttocks near a playground in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, police said Friday.

The 32-year-old man was struggling with another man over the firearm when it went off, striking him in the buttocks, according to police. Despite being wounded, he was able to walk on his own into San Francisco General Hospital, where staff alerted police.

The man he was fighting with, who was described as being 18 to 25 years old, ran off with the gun, police said.
